Rachel SingerRachel Singer joined the PhD program in 2022. Her research focuses on the environmental and gender history of early medieval Europe, particularly post-Roman Britain and Merovingian Gaul, to which she takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining rigorous textual criticism with paleoscientific data. Rachel has previously published on the Black Death in North Africa and on a Merovingian nuns’ rebellion. Current projects focus on first-pandemic plague in Britain, disaster and climate in Gildas’ De excidio Britonum, and epidemic disease in Britain and Ireland in the first millennium, CE. She holds a BA from Georgetown and an MPhil in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic from Cambridge.
